I have been tasked with helping handle clock drift, as part of a shopwide
effort, with an interesting limitation. If the correction is over some
arbitrary number, do not make it. That may be a story for another time.

OK, I can:
!/NTP/V0401000/NTPDATE '-q 192.168.1.1' > TEMPFILE
!PRINT TEMPFILE;END=1 > TEMPLINE
!INPUT TEMPLINE < TEMPLINE
!CALC WORD('!TEMPLINE',,6)
!IF ABS(!HPRESULT) > 60
and where is where I get stuck with:
IF ABS(-7.319336) > 60
        ^
Unexpected character found in number. (CIERR 9810)

I would be happy with a better solution to the larger problem, or just help
with CIERR 9810.
